Bugle Exclusive: Bukele’s interview on cypherpunk statism and the IMF
“I don’t believe forced government legislation is the way to Bitcoin’s success and adoption.” Bukele told The Bugle, Friday. After reportedly promising to revoke his 2021 Bitcoin laws, Bukele came out forcefully against the complex of maxi Bitcoin podcasters, influencers and large Bitcoin conferences, nicknamed PODCONF. “Fuck Las Vegas 2025.” he tweeted and then deleted this morning.
“I decided to separate Bitcoin from my own state first, or else I would look like a hypocrite.” He told The Bugle over Zoom. “This will force Bitcoiners to face reality and do actual work to promote usage and adoption, instead of PR stunts that serve complacency, government surveillance and regulatory capture. Usually when you bring this up, these braindead cultists just tell you “BUT EL SALAVDORRR. No more El Salvador cope, bit-assholes.” Bukele said, explaining he’s still buying Bitcoin because he thinks it will go up in USDT.
On the IMF Deal and New Cypherpunk Executive Order
Bukele’s new cypherpunk move of banning Bitcoin for tax payments is expected to grow black market adoption. Bukele also hinted that El Salvador may be accepting Monero for tax evasion, but this idea is still far from being fleshed out.
“The IMF wants us to hold Bitcoin but not to use it. That’s ok, because no one is really using it in El Salvador except a bunch of PODCONF junkies, so I’ve decided to end the charade.”
Director of El Salvador's national Bitcoin office, Stacy Herbert, with her husband Max Kaiser. Bukele is rumored to be interviewing several cypherpunk pundits for the job of director of national cypherpunk office.
El Salvador’s minister of interior posted on Twitter that they will add Tor nodes to public access Wi-Fi points across government offices and municipalities.
“I’m a cypherpunk, not a basic bitch maxi!”
“One day my wife told me 'These Bitcoin people are not your friends, they are a bunch of sociopaths who want you to pump their bags and feel elite’.” Bukele told The Bugle.
“This bitch said to me, ‘Do you want to live the rest of your life being Samson Mow's brown little PR puppet? You’ve already 3Xed in USDT, you can buy your own influencers.’ and I realized she was correct.”
“No more El Salvador cope, bit-assholes”- President Bukele's new official portrait
According to Bukele, orders for the arrest of PODCONF associates in El Salvador followed soon after this conversation.
Too soon?
Despite this big step forward for the Bitcoin movement, it may be too soon to celebrate. Experts are concerned this may be a new turn in fake-as-fuck activism.
“The fake and lame Bitcoin narrative where you don’t need to do anything besides shill Bitcoin and you’ll get rich and win freedom due to the magic power of so-called ‘game theory’ is still going strong.” says political history Professor, Jerald Smith, from the University of Texas.

“First of all, that belief in success by doing nothing isn’t going anywhere because it’s the best most people can do these days. Second of all, signaling cypherpunk values while being a credit card using Twitter App addict is a growing trend we are tracking. This is due to Bitcoin discourse and news being centered on a corporate, closed-source platform which rewards alienated narcissistic psychosis, as we’ve seen in the well-studied edge case of Dennis Porter.”
Bukele commented on these remarks by DM “I actually plan to delete my Twitter/X account soon and already deleted it from my phone.”
Despite naysayers, El Salvador may be a new outpost of freedom in the war to separate money from the state. We salute president Bukele, the first cypherpunk present!
